Were the Douglas Treaties and the Numbered Treaties Fairly Negotiated?
Step 8: Compare conclusions
Arrange for students to share their overall conclusions with a partner, and then initiate a class- wide discussion. For both the Douglas Treaties and the Numbered Treaties, invite several students to share their conclusions with the rest of the class. Encourage students to discuss the evidence and to remain open to the possibility that there may be no conclusive answer for some of the issues surrounding the negotiations of these treaties.
